So the mainsail would have to be down? I didn't really think about it, but that alone could be very tricky on a capsized tri.
Godd question, I didn't think of it.
I guess the shroud's pulley would be almost aft of the mainsail. The risk of tearing the sail is reduced if the mainsheet is released, but I wouldn't bet a sail on this.
Without a vang one could pass the pulley under the boom. As the pulley is tensioned, the boom sinks, further releasing the sail. This would probably do the trick.
I want to know who is going to swim down to pull the red pulley?
I guess this is a task for tha skipper who returns from the trapeze to the tramp to adjust the mainsheet... Or maybe for the crew who does the same to adjust the jib... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
